Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
Hi there, I have written 1 book so far with more to come. I am married and a mother of 2 children. I love growing and making medicinal medicines with herbs. I love nature and all that is in it. I am always trying to learn what I can forage or grow that can make natural medicine. To heal with plants & nature. I have been a healer all my life and I started healing others about 15yrs ago. It truly is who I am not what I do. I. decided I wanted to write a book to try to reach out to others in any way possible to help them. To help you. 🙂 So if my writing can do that, my knowledge and my passion reaches you, then I am forever grateful that I was able to.
You need to FEEL it to HEAL it! <3
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my book is “The Journey of Self-Healing: Everything You Need to Know About Truly Healing Yourself and Helpful Suggestions to Guide You Through It”
My years of healing others and myself inspired me to write my book. Also that I wanted to reach out to as many people as I could all over the world and to write a book that was “real” down to earth and honest.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
No I wouldn’t say that I do.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
Well I have always been a reader but not in this genre haha. But I must say years ago I read a couple books by Paulo Coelho, they were The Pilgrimage and the The Alchemist. I found them quite interesting and made me think things differently. They were “soul stirring” if you understand what I mean. I suppose that started a different path for me.
What are you working on now?
I am currently working on how water is very healing and the benefits of healing yourself with water.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
Well I am finding Twitter a fantastic method of promoting my book. The writing community on there is very supportive and helpful. Now trying another avenue which I am very new at haha but seems to quite supportive also and that is TikTok believe it or not.
Do you have any advice for new authors?
My advice since I am still a new author myself is dont’ give up. It gets frustrating when your not seeing the sales or the promotions to get your book out there, you work your butt off trying and your not seeing it pay off but it will. Having some money helps where you can pay for ads and such but otherwise just keep going, believe in yourself, know that your book is a good one and just don’t give up!
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
The best advice I ever heard was to stay true to myself and no not worry about what others think of me or what I do. To just keep “doing” me. 🙂
What are you reading now?
I just finished up a book called “A Comprehensive Guide for Adult Women Navigating ADHD: Techniques and Skills to Positively Transform Your Life and Take Charge of Adult ADHD” for a fellow author. It is her first book out and it was fantastic and very interesting. I learned things from this book and could relate.
What’s next for you as a writer?
What’s next? Just going to keep on writing and to try and help whomever I can that wants it. Maybe down the road I would like to write childrens book but where there is still healing and helping involved.
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
Now that is a loaded question haha. That would be hard for me to answer as I like a lot of different kinds of books. I suppose I am a big fantasy/paranormal reader so I would have to take a book in that genre and possibly a book in the self help genre just to keep me grounded and definitely one or two of the how to’s/survival guide so I could actually survive on a desert island lol.
